For many parents one of the biggest milepost for transitioning out of the toddler phase with their little ones is the day that they first set foot in school for Pre-K or Kindergarten. There's a lot of excitement and wonder abound at that age. And the folks at Amarillo ISD are working to simplify and demystify the of troublesome process of student enrollment while still adding a little bit of fun along the way with their new 'Ready, Set, Vamanos!' Initiative.

What the district hopes to do with Ready, Set, Vamanos! is to provide an outreach for parents of children who are age four (or will be by September 21st) and are not yet enrolled in a district school. The program offers a variety of age appropriate activities for children, including scavenger hunts and a chance to explore participating campuses. Parents will also have the opportunity to ask questions and seek assistance in enrollment.
